The TVING original series ‘Yumi’s Cells’ will return for season 3, once again starring Kim Go Eun.

‘Yumi’s Cells 3’ tells the story of Yumi (played by Kim Go Eun), who returns as a star writer, and her ever-devoted brain cells as they continue to grow and love. The series is a romance that touches the heart by stimulating both emotion and imagination.

Based on the legendary Naver Webtoon by Lee Dong Geun, ‘Yumi’s Cells’ received massive love for its unique blend of realism and creativity, portraying Yumi’s everyday life and inner thoughts through the personified “cells” in her brain. The groundbreaking combination of live action and 3D animation was praised as an evolution in drama formats. Cleverly directed scenes weaving Yumi’s real-world experiences with the whimsical village of her cells captivated viewers with a new level of emotional resonance.

Following the sensational popularity of seasons 1 and 2, which aired three years ago, expectations are high for the long-awaited season 3.

Returning to lead the project are trusted director Lee Sang Yeob and writers Song Jae Jung and Kim Kyung Ran, the creative team behind the previous seasons. Above all, Kim Go Eun’s return as Yumi is generating the most excitement. Her portrayal of Yumi was so compelling that it’s hard to imagine anyone else in the role. She captured subtle emotional shifts in both daily life and romance, winning over audiences with her nuanced performance.

In season 3, Yumi—having achieved her dream of becoming a writer—encounters a new, unpredictable romance that turns her calm inner world upside down. The village of cells springs back to life as Yumi begins to feel unexpected excitement. Kim Go Eun is expected to deliver an even more charming and relatable portrayal of Yumi’s emotional and personal growth. Beloved cells such as Love, Reason, Emotion, Writer, and Hungry cells will also return with more quirky energy.

Kim Go Eun shared her thoughts on the upcoming season: “It’s an honor and a joy to continue Yumi’s story, which has been so loved by viewers. As an actor, playing the same character over a long period is a very meaningful and special experience. I hope to reflect Yumi’s growth and her life’s turning points in this new season. Since my journey with Yumi began in 2021, I want to wrap it up well.”

‘Yumi’s Cells Season 3’ is slated for release in the first half of 2026 exclusively on TVING.
